    Thanks guys. And yea, it's in a storage unit that has minimal power but the owner is allowing me to upgrade the electrical in there and eventually a couple more 20 amp circuits will be in there and possibly a 40 amp circuit to have all the juice I need :)

    I just got 4 shop lights that will be more than enough to light the place up and all I really need is an air cleaner/circulator and the dust collector tubing setup to turn on with the table saw etc. to collect the dust...once winter rolls around it wont be too pleasant sealed up in there without that.

    Hopefully this will be up and running at some point this week

    Thanks guys. I forgot to mention im going to be using 8 of the 10 speakers I picked up, just for wiring purposes (a pair in each corner of the shop)

    And I will be bridging the 4-channels to just basically have a right and a left in the shop...just the same 2 channels of rca's through all of the amps atleast until I find my 7700..im using that really old model right now and only has a pair of pre-outs :(

    Chargin 'er up...conveniently just have to pull the boots away from the ring terminals and there's plenty of space to clamp onto..

    And got some speaker wire for the 4's..

    Hopefully will get to wiring those up within the next couple days and get things playing..

    Alright, I got the grill-cloth enclosure for the charger pretty much done today. It looks like im going to ditch the hinge idea on the front panel and just have a flap of grill cloth over it and thumb-tack it to the mdf frame. The side will also be like this for when I need to take it out, I will most likely be taking this to big competitions to top-off before runs and let others do the same.

    Titebond Instant-Bond made things a breeze putting this together...seconds to dry and is almost as strong as a clamped glue joint, no joke.

    Added a middle support to the back so the wires can go out one side with a flap of grill cloth over them and the other side can just have permanent grill cloth over it.

    Got the grill cloth..

    Painted that bish..

    Side and back are free to move for the wires and to get it out...I'll be getting tacks to hold the flaps down..

    Alright, ive been working in my shop for too long without some tunes in there. So in chicago at the maxxsonics comp they had insano pricing on all kinda of equipment, so I picked up 10 4"ers for 20 bucks for the shop

    And they seem pretty nice too, not too shabby. 2 will be going in each corner of the shop and one on each of the larger walls between the pairs.

    I also picked up a pair of cheap 4-channels a while back, so I'll be powering these with a pair of Pioneer GM-6300F's. Im just going to bridge the amps to simplify things and not worry about a front/back.

    Here they are with my comps from a while back..

    This will also include my 15" TC9 aswell in a fairly large ported enclosure, tuned low, with a healthy amount of port area to make the most of the limited power (still deciding on an amp but it wont be tons of power, it'll have to be pretty cheap). Im thinking around 4.75 cubes, tuned to 31hz, with around 80ish sq inches of port. The enclosure will most likely have grill cloth over the port to keep all the saw dust from drifting inside.

    And the backbone to keep everything alive and happy, I just picked up this powermaster charger from dennis at Mechman and it is nice

    I will be making a frame for this to sit in that will have grill cloth around the whole thing so it can breath but still be protected from the dust, then it will have the front/face of it on a hinge to swing up when I need to turn it on/off, adjust, etc.

    Here she is..

    I think for battery I may be snagging the biggest decent battery they have at autozone or something, probably duralast or something. Or possibly starting off with one medium sized one and then down the road getting another to run in parallel to really keep things running.

    For the headunit, I will be using my old Pioneer 7700. I will most likely be making a small station/tower for the charger, battery/batteries, amps, headunit, etc. to all be in and where appropriate I'll have grill cloth panels on hinges so I can get to the components and they'll still be protected from the saw dust.

    ------

    Anyways, onto the actually building of stuff..

    Getting the enclosures made for the 4"ers. These will be sealed enclosures to protect from the dust and the fronts will be covered in grill cloth.
